You can easily re-purpose your old watering cans and turn them into vintage Christmas ornaments for your yard, entryway, or garden. All you need to do is fill them with faux branches of berries!

If you don’t have a metal watering can, you can get one here.

Old barn planks, pallets, or fence wood will be perfect for creating these DIY outdoor wooden Christmas tree and star.

To be honest, this project does take some work but it’s totally worth it because it will give your porch or front yard a lovely rustic touch. The good news is you don’t need to paint them (unless you want to, of course).

You can also add evergreens or ornaments like these to dress your tree up.

What’s better than making the walls of your home greet a Merry Christmas to the family and friends?

I believe that some of the best holiday memories happen at the dinner table when you’re with your loved ones enjoying your favorite Christmas recipes.

An amazing Christmas table decoration can help you reinvent and relive some of those sweet memories. Believe it or not, setting a farmhouse holiday table doesn’t need to be expensive, time-consuming, or difficult.

Just like this decorating idea by Love Grows Wild. It features cute frosted evergreens in little wood boxes, these gold candlesticks, and two little wooden nutcrackers.

You can get 4 unpainted wooden nutcrackers here if you wish.

So simple and yet absolutely gorgeous Christmas centerpiece!

7. Olive Branches Wreath

Christmas decorating is great but it can sometimes be too over-the-top.

I mean, giant Santas standing among gingerbread houses surrounded by Christmas lights in all possible colors? C’mon!

If you’re looking for a more subtle approach this season, look at this minimalistic wreath made out of olive branches.

It is very simple to make. Just put together a bunch of olive branches with floral wire. Add a few cute bells like these and you’re all done!

8. Chippy White Christmas Sign

Don’t have time to put together a pallet sign? No problem.

Pay your garage a visit and look for an old, chippy window (there has to be one, I mean, what are garages for?).

Use it to frame burlap with white lettering. This is how you create a gorgeous Christmas sign.

You can get burlap here. It’ll be useful for many Christmas to come. Also, for other farmhouse décor projects too!

If you need inspirations, here are a few verses from my favorite Christmas carol:

I’ll be home for Christmas

You can plan on me

Please have snow and mistletoe

And presents on the tree.

Sheet music can really add a touch of elegance to your Christmas décor. For instance, you can use it to create a ‘forest’ of decorative Christmas trees.

You can use these cute vintage sheet music trees to decorate the home. Also, as name card holders for your Christmas dinner.

All you need for this DIY craft is several sheets of music cut into triangles, extra-long skewers, and a small slice of wood.

Scatter the trees in the center of your dining table to create a lovely table setting or place one on each plate.

If you’re not a huge holiday decorator (not all of us are and it’s totally fine) but you still want to make something you’ll all enjoy, think printable signs.

There’s nothing easier than making a sign like this. All you need is a vintage Christmas-themed printable poster, a lovely barn wood frame like this and a permanent double-sided tape.

You can place one of these signs on your wall or mantle, or hang a few of them as a collection using slightly smaller frames.

Here is another homemade sign. As you might have noticed, DIY signs are all the rage right now. You’ll see stenciled, painted, and printed ones on canvas, barn wood, and pallet wood.

This one is special because it’s printed on burlap. It’s easy, affordable, and requires zero artistic skills.

Unless you’re talented and willing to express your creativity; in that case, paint away!

A perfect home decor or gift idea for everyone! If you use it as a gift, make sure to wrap it in a nice Christmas paper.

19. Easy Christmas Card Holder

I love sending and getting Christmas cards. Do you? If you have lots of cards sent to you by family and friends over the years, you might be wondering what to do with them.

I believe this Christmas cardholder is a beautiful and practical way to store your cards. It will not only keep them neat and organized but it will also show off your cards and serve as a gorgeous Christmas decoration.

20. Winter Basket Centerpiece

Not providing at least one décor idea that uses a basket would be so negligent!

The best thing about baskets is that you can find them at crafts stores or even the dollar store. Plus, you can use spray paint (here is the gold one if you fancy the color) to transform them into your favorite color.

For this simple yet stunning centerpiece, you only need winter greens and candlesticks.

If you just want to make your own Christmas gift basket, check out more ideas here.
